Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding electrode production technology, and in particular to a feeding device for welding electrode production. Background Technology
[0002] Welding electrodes are metal strips that melt and fill the joint of welded workpieces during gas welding or electric welding. They consist of two parts: a coating and a core. The coating melts and is added to the weld as filler metal, becoming the main component of the weld metal. Such a substance is called a welding electrode.
[0003] In the electrode production process, the feeding stage is a crucial step to ensure production continuity and efficiency. However, traditional electrode feeding devices still have the following shortcomings: 1. The height of traditional electrode feeding devices is fixed, which cannot flexibly adapt to the docking needs of production equipment of different heights, limiting their application in diverse production scenarios; 2. Traditional electrode feeding devices lack protective mechanisms during the conveying process, and electrode is easily affected by vibration, collision, and other factors, causing it to shift, fall, or even be damaged. This not only reduces the product qualification rate but also causes equipment failure and downtime, increasing the company's production costs and maintenance time. Therefore, we have introduced a electrode feeding device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a feeding device for welding electrode production, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A feeding device for welding rod production includes a base, with two fixing blocks fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base. Each of the four fixing blocks has a through-hole at its upper end. The upper front and upper rear of the base have two sliding grooves. Mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the upper left and upper right of the base. A lifting mechanism is inserted into the left end of the left mounting block. A lifting seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting mechanism. A feeding conveyor belt is fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting seat. Balancing components are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the base. The upper ends of the four balancing components are fixedly connected to the lower four corners of the feeding conveyor belt. Protective components are fixedly connected to the upper front and upper rear of the feeding conveyor belt.
[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a rotary motor. A left lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor. A fixed rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the left lead screw. A right lead screw is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed rod. Transmission blocks are threaded onto the outer surfaces of both the left and right lead screws. Lifting plates are movably installed at the front and rear ends of the two transmission blocks via rotating shafts. Connecting blocks are movably installed between each pair of the four lifting plates via rotating shafts. The upper ends of the two connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the lifting seats. Base plates are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two transmission blocks. Slider blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear lower ends of the two base plates. The right end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the left end of the left mounting block. The output end of the rotary motor passes through the left end of the left mounting block and extends to the right end of the left mounting block.
[0008] Preferably, the left and right lead screws are arranged in a mirror image, the right end of the right lead screw is movably connected to the left end of the right mounting block via a rotating shaft, and the four sliders are respectively movably fitted into the corresponding four slide grooves.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the four sliders are respectively movably sleeved in the corresponding four grooves, providing good guidance and support for the transmission block and its connected components.
[0010] Preferably, the balancing assembly includes a base block, with a telescopic balance bar and a protective spring fixedly connected to the upper end of the base block, and a top block fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic balance bar and the upper end of the protective spring. The lower end of the base block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic balance bar and the protective spring are connected together to the top block, which can provide auxiliary support for the protective spring and prevent the protective spring from being excessively deformed or bent when subjected to large forces.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the top block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding conveyor belt, and the telescopic balance bar is located inside the corresponding protective spring and has a gap with the inner wall surface of the corresponding protective spring.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic balance bar is located inside the corresponding protective spring and there is a gap between it and the inner wall of the protective spring. This design can prevent the protective spring from excessively rubbing or colliding with the telescopic balance bar during the extension and retraction process.
[0014] Preferably, the protective component includes a mounting plate, with a plurality of connecting springs fixedly connected to the rear end of the front mounting plate, and a protective plate fixedly connected to the rear end of each of the connecting springs. The lower end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding conveyor belt.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution: during the electrode production process, when the electrode is conveyed on the feeding conveyor belt, the protective plate can cover the edge of the feeding conveyor belt to prevent the electrode from falling off the sides of the feeding conveyor belt due to equipment vibration, slight shaking of the conveyor belt or other unexpected factors.
[0016] Preferably, the connecting springs are distributed at equal intervals in pairs.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the welding rod can be relatively uniformly protected no matter where it is on the feeding conveyor belt near the edge, thus avoiding the situation where the welding rod falls from certain weak areas due to insufficient local protection.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. In this utility model, the lifting mechanism drives the left and right lead screws to rotate synchronously through a rotary motor, which in turn drives the transmission block to move. Then, the lifting plate and the connecting block are linked to realize the height adjustment of the lifting seat and the feeding conveyor belt. This design enables the feeding device to adapt to the docking requirements of production equipment of different heights, improves the versatility and flexibility of the device, facilitates its use in different welding rod production processes, reduces the inconvenience of material transfer caused by differences in equipment height, and effectively improves production efficiency and automation.
[0020] 2. In this utility model, the protective components at both ends of the feeding conveyor belt provide effective protection for the welding rod. Several connecting springs distributed at equal intervals in pairs connect the mounting plate and the protective plate. When the welding rod is impacted by external force or displaced due to its own inertia during the conveying process, the protective plate can gently block the welding rod under the buffering effect of the connecting springs, preventing it from falling from both sides of the conveyor belt, avoiding damage to the welding rod and chaos in the production site. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by material spillage and improves the safety and stability of the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0030] A feeding device for welding rod production includes a base 1. Two fixing blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base 1. Each of the four fixing blocks 2 has a through fixing hole 3 at its upper end. Two sliding grooves 4 are opened at the front and rear of the upper end of the base 1. Mounting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right of the upper end of the base 1. A lifting mechanism 6 is inserted and installed at the left end of the left mounting block 5. A lifting seat 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting mechanism 6. A feeding conveyor belt 10 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting seat 7. Balancing components 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the base 1. The upper ends of the four balancing components 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the feeding conveyor belt 10. Protective components 9 are fixedly connected to the front and rear of the upper end of the feeding conveyor belt 10.
[0031] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a rotary motor 61. A left lead screw 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor 61. A fixed rod 63 is fixedly connected to the right end of the left lead screw 62. A right lead screw 64 is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed rod 63. Transmission blocks 65 are threadedly connected to the outer surfaces of the left lead screw 62 and the right lead screw 64. Lifting plates 66 are movably installed at the front and rear ends of the two transmission blocks 65 via rotating shafts. Connecting blocks 67 are movably installed between each pair of the four lifting plates 66 via rotating shafts. The upper ends of the two connecting blocks 67 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the lifting seat 7. Base plates 68 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two transmission blocks 65. Slider blocks 69 are fixedly connected to the front and rear lower ends of the two base plates 68. The right end of the rotary motor 61 is fixedly connected to the left end of the left mounting block 5. The output end of the rotary motor 61 passes through the left end of the left mounting block 5 and extends to the right end of the left mounting block 5. The left lead screw 62 and the right lead screw 64 are arranged in a left-right orientation. The components are arranged in a mirror image. The right end of the right lead screw 64 is movably connected to the left end of the right mounting block 5 via a rotating shaft. The four sliders 69 are respectively movably fitted into the corresponding four sliding grooves 4. The balancing component 8 includes a base block 81. The upper end of the base block 81 is fixedly connected to a telescopic balance bar 82 and a protective spring 83. The upper end of the telescopic balance bar 82 and the upper end of the protective spring 83 are both fixedly connected to a top block 84. The lower end of the base block 81 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. The upper end of the top block 84 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding conveyor belt 10. The telescopic balance bar 82 is located inside the corresponding protective spring 83 and there is a gap between it and the inner wall of the corresponding protective spring 83. The protective component 9 includes a mounting plate 91. The rear end of the front mounting plate 91 is fixedly connected to several connecting springs 92. The rear end of each connecting spring 92 is fixedly connected to a protective plate 93. The lower end of the mounting plate 91 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding conveyor belt 10. The several connecting springs 92 are distributed in pairs at equal distances.
[0032] It should be noted that this utility model is a feeding device for welding rod production. During use, the base 1 is fixed in a suitable working position through the fixing holes 3 on the four fixing blocks 2 to ensure the stability of the device. The rotary motor 61 is started, and its output end drives the left lead screw 62 to rotate. Since the left lead screw 62 and the right lead screw 64 are mirror images of each other and are connected by the fixing rod 63 to rotate synchronously, the transmission block 65, which is threaded to the outer surface of the left lead screw 62 and the right lead screw 64, will move towards or away from each other as the left lead screw 62 and the right lead screw 64 rotate. The lifting plate 66, which is movably installed at the front and rear ends of the transmission block 65 through the rotating shaft, will change its angle as the transmission block 65 moves. At the same time, the lifting seat 7 is driven to rise or fall through the connecting block 67, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the feeding conveyor belt 10. During this process, the bottom plate 68 at the lower end of the transmission block 65 and the slider 69 on it will slide in the slide groove 4 of the base 1, which plays a role in stabilization and guidance. The lifting mechanism ensures the smoothness of the lifting process. The welding rod is then placed on the feeding conveyor belt 10, which transports the welding rod. During the transport process, the protective component 9 plays a protective role. When the welding rod deviates due to vibration or other reasons, the protective plate 93 will buffer and limit the welding rod under the elastic action of the connecting spring 92, preventing the welding rod from falling from both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 10. Several connecting springs 92, which are distributed at equal intervals in pairs, can better adapt to the force conditions at different positions. At the same time, during the entire feeding process, the balancing component 8 adjusts the balance of the feeding conveyor belt 10 in real time. When the feeding conveyor belt 10 tilts due to uneven material distribution, the top block 84 will be subjected to different degrees of pressure. The telescopic balance bar 82 and the protective spring 83 will extend and deform accordingly. The elastic force of the protective spring 83 will restore the feeding conveyor belt 10 to a relatively balanced state, ensuring the stable transport of materials.
